Clinical Director | Supervisor | RCCSam van Ginkel
Sam founded The Experiential Therapist out of a realization that the most powerful therapy goes deeper than intellectual understanding.
He specializes in helping adults heal from trauma and emotional wounds, chronic anxiety, shame, and old unwanted patterns in relationships. His style is warm and friendly, but also direct and straight forward. He’s here to help guide deep work, at the pace that is needed, in a safe & supportive environment.
Sam also loves helping other therapists learn this powerful way of working, through his podcast The Experiential Therapist Podcast, and supervision.

She is a naturally a gentle person, who will also be clear and honest about what she notices. With care, compassion, and a touch of humour she invites clients to explore their experience, discover new possibilities, and take steps toward a more fulfilling and connected life.
